Remarques
Wakken is the birth place of the cartographer and printer Jodocus Hondius, who started the publication Flandria Illustrata (later continued by Blaeu). Copy after the print from Flandria Illustrata by Blaeu. The coat of arms of Burgundy is shown because of Anton II of Burgundy (bastard of Anton of Burgundy) who became lord of Wakken(e) after his marriage.
